This is a wonderful soup to warm you up on a cold winter day that even your kids will love.  I personally make my own homemade chicken stock first and then use both the broth and the chicken meat to make this amazing soup.  Don’t forget to add the sea salt too!  You may need more then the recipe calls for depending on your taste.  Try it garnished with tortilla chips, grated raw milk cheddar cheese tossed with chopped cilantro, avocado and/or sour cream for some good healthy fats.  Make homemade tortilla chips using organic corn or sprouted tortillas cut into strips and fried until crispy in coconut oil, salt while warm.

Chicken Tortilla Soup

3 cups chopped cooked chicken meat

1 tbsp olive oil

1-1/2 tsp cumin

1 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp sea salt

1 cup diced onion

1/2 cup diced bell peppers

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 – 10 ounce can organic tomato sauce

48 ounces chicken stock, I use homemade and then use the chicken to chop up in the soup as well

3 tablespoons tomato paste

2 – 15 ounce cans organic black beans, drained and rinsed

Heat oil in stock pan, add spices and cook stirring until fragrant. Add peppers, onions, and garlic  and cook until onion becomes translucent. Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Stir in chicken meat.
